Stop II

Temperature at departure = 50° F (10° C)

Do you get tired of hearing people complain about cyclists not stopping at stop signs? It has been just over a year since I posted the original Stop video. What the heck, the only new movie out this weekend is that thing with Nicholas Cage that looks like it will be horrible. So, for your viewing enjoyment, I present a sequel -- Stop II! Hey, it's short, free and filmed in that shaky hand-held style that is popular these days. With out further adieu, direct from this morning's commute...

Your skill test - explain to one motorist or cyclist the meaning of those red octagonal sign. Then ride your bike west to California and visit The Cycling Dude for your next checkpoint. You're almost done!

That's the way it's done here in BC.Next province over Alberta, you have to stop and count to three, a stop and go right away will get you pinched. Personally I think slowing down enough to see there is no hazard only makes sense. It saves the rider it save the brakes and gas.
